Temp in place
Pulling off, sheath, replace, forget about until tornado

You'll appreciate this- bolts were welded @ 24".
Obviously, studs are 16" center.

When maths collide.....
So, uh, decisions were made on the fly today.

It'll look great from the neighbors yard.
I'm just fucking glad we didn't do it all "the right way" and then try to stand them :)
Fine

It's a 3 foot stub wall! It's not like they are standing up a 40 foot stretch of 8 foot walls!


Alright, I got that out of my system, I digress.
That would probably be easier. Lifting onto those not at all consistently spaced bolts, 10' off the ground, marking, lay it back down, find out 2 bolts meet 16" oc studs, drill anyway, lift and remount....

Pain in the dick all day.

Looking good, how is the arm doing
Shockingly well. I got super lucky.
I was hooking up those trusses to the crane yesterday morning and it was a little sore but fine.
I'll take it, I was convinced I damaged a connection point or something due to the unreal pain and figured something had to have bled alot because I rarely bruise and literally never like that in my life.

Its probably 95%. Push-ups are still off the table for probably another week or two.

Wind started to pick up towards the end, got a little western lol.

People are just showing up "wow, what are you guys building?"
Had a porta potty guy show trying to get business.

Guys, were a little busy and we're paying Mr Crane here $180/hrs. Not right now please....

Wall. Thats next. Per conversations with both crane guy and a carpenter that came to help (he rocked) they both said close the end first before the roof or the wind could vortex through and apply alot of upward pressure. It's pretty tall and a windy area. Gets real out there sometimes.
We're not doing it twice, lol.
